Smart says Jazz not interested in him
- Thread starter Golfman
- Start date
Lol if you think Smart and Allen are comparable offensively just because they both have shooting issues.
Nah man, I definitely agree with you on this. If anything the Jazz need some of that fire and passion that Smart plays with.
Smart obviously a better scorer and Allen was a first or second team all defender. I still see some similarities with them though, when push comes to shove Smart will be known more as a dominant defender then scorer, imo.

Smart already is known as more of a dominant defender than a scorer…so I don't see your point. Just because he's a better defender than scorer doesn't make him Tony freaking Allen.
Similarities? They're black, fairly athletic, great at defense, and they played at OK State. I don't know if you were old enough to watch Tony Allen play in college, but while he may have scored a decent amount, he wasn't a good offensive player. Smart, is obviously a much better offensive player.
Never liked Smart, never have, never will, glad he won't be joining the Jazz.
That's all I've gotta say about that.
That's all I've gotta say about that.
Smart with 29% from three on 5.1 attempts per game and 42% from field with 12.5 attempts a game.
Allen with 29% from three on 2.1 attempts per game and 50% from field on 12.4 attempts a game in college.
Smart is not a great offensive player. He will struggle to score in the league.
Didn't say he was or that he wouldn't. Definitely will be better and is better at offense than Tony Allen tho.
Yes the Tony Allen comparison is a little out there.
It's funny he said that the Jazz are "not interested" in him. Rather than simply saying he hasn't heard much from them. Just didn't seem like a super polished answer.
Pretty wild we haven't brought him in for a workout for smokescreen purposes, though. Could be we've tried and he just doesn't want to be here.

Probably isn't crazy about starting off as a bench player, which is what he would likely be here in year one.

That's stupid. I don't give a **** about having boy scouts out there. I want players who give a damn.
It probably isn't the best fit. Maybe we are locked into another player.
